FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Concordia Lutheran High School has announced plans to dedicate the school’s new basketball court on Friday, December 9.
The course will be named in memory of Eugene Parker, a 1974 Concordia graduate and member of the Concordia Athletic Hall of Fame.
Parker also founded a sports agency where he served professional athletics and entertainment clients, including Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders and Rod Woodson.
“Playing with Eugene was just amazing,” said Greg Rehberg, Director of Alumni and Donor Relations and Parker’s teammate at Concordia.
The new court is part of Concordia’s million-dollar gymnasium renovation effort.
The project replaced the original 1963 floor and plans to add a new sound system this week and new bleachers in the summer of 2023, along with new lights and dashboards.
